Built in 1903 in Beaux Arts style, with a classy rotunda and all. Sometimes the golden American Bald Eagle atop the building will shift direction a little due to severe weather.
The Mississippi State Capitol or the “New Capitol,” has been the seat of the state’s government since it succeeded the old Mississippi State House in 1903. Located in the centrally located state capital / capital city of Jackson, in Hinds County, it was designated as a Mississippi Landmark in 1986, and subsequently a National Historic Landmark in 2016. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
